Among reports recently taken by the Russellville Police Department (RPD):

Aug. 11 — Battery on South Elmira Avenue. Police were contacted by a man with bruises and scrapes on his face who said after being kicked out of his girlfriend’s house following a fight, he was trying to gather his belongings when the woman and her two sons attacked him. When police contacted the woman, she said she’d kicked the man out and that he’d only lived there for a week, though he said he moved in in January and the address was displayed on his driver’s license.

The woman said after the complainant gathered his belongings, he forced his way back inside the residence and charged at her son, who said the complainant punched him in the eye and broke a bottle over his head, though the complainant contested he only defended himself.

Police were unable to get a completed statement due to the woman and her son kicking him out of the residence.

Aug. 11 — Disturbance on Glenwood Avenue. Police responded to the Glenwood House where they made contact with a woman who said another woman began yelling at her and then pulled off her oxygen and began to hit her car with her hand. The complainant said the woman dented her vehicle, and while she was speaking to police the suspect drove her wheelchair up and began cursing at and threatening the complainant.

The suspect refused to calm down as police advised and said she was angry because the complainant was keeping her grandson and child from seeing her, and that the complainant smashed her phone while arguing.

The suspect was issued a citation for disorderly conduct and teroristic threatening.

Aug. 11 — Disturbance on East 12th Street. Police responded to a physical disturbance where they contacted a man standing outside the door of his apartment, pointing inside. When police approach, they reportedly saw the man’s son standing in a bladed stance, as if he was ready to fight. According to the report, his eyes were open wide and he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists while talking to his father.

The complainant told officers his son “tends to be a little crazy and that when he gets angry he will fight him,” according to the report. The complainant said previously officers responded to his house over a similar incident and his son beat him after police left. The man said he didn’t fight back, saying “I do not hit my son. I don’t fight back and he sees this and he calms down.”

Because the man’s son, who appeared to be intoxicated, seemed a threat to the members of the residence, he was placed into custody and transported to the Pope County Detention Center and charged with second degree assault on a household or family member.
